Almost nothing any court or person does today truly surprises me.
Here locally, about 10+ years ago, a County Deputy Sherrif went on a call about a car that had been abandoned and was possibly rigged with a bomb (owner of car was a munitions expert in military and had previously been investigated for local bombings). The Deputy went to the scene and met a tow truck driver there who had been dispatched to tow the vehicle. Deputy (in an act of ULTIMATE STUPIDITY) opens the drivers door of the car --- BOOM!! and the Deputy got thrown 40-60' and landed on the bank of the river. The Deputy lived (with some disabilities) and had the audacity to sue and collect money from the insurance company that insures the counties cruisers using the logic that it was the cruiser that got him to the scene of the bombing ---- AND HE COLLECTED
Go Figure!
